*Canceled* Brrrrr Ride [VA]

11/1/2020 Update from Dusty:

The Brrr ride celebrates the drawing to a close of the riding season (for most of us) and has long been a staple of the COG NE calendar --- especially for the “COG Camping Crazies.”

Highlights include cabins at the KOA, “Roger / Clyde” style campfire (if it doesn’t move then burn it), great riding, walking down to the Pink Cadillac for communal dinners, (maybe not so much the hike back up the hill to the KOA), gathering for breakfast, freezing our tookas off heading to the Blue Grass charity Pancake Breakfast and especially seeing old friends and meeting new COGers.

However with the Coronavirus pandemic raging in SW Virginia I cannot in good conscience host the Brrr ride this year --- so it is officially deferred until next year.

I know some folks will be coming to stay in the cabins, ride and camp cooking at the KOA --- I simply urge Social Distancing, mask wearing and adherence to the cautions in CDC guidance.

Semi-organized rides are planned for Friday and Saturday.  A Sunday run up to Blue Grass for the annual “Buckwheat Pancake Breakfast Benefit” is planned – we expect the event to be held Sunday, but their schedule is NOT YET ESTABLISHED.

Please note Veteran’s Day is Wednesday (11/11/20) this year – so feel free to join in early this year!

Expect folks in the KOA “Classic Camping Cabins” area (generally the “early risers”).  As we have been for the last 10 years the “COG Horseman” will be across the foot bridge in the “Newer Cabin” area – specifically cabin 63.  A communal COG Campfire will be blazing between Cabins 62 & 63 – so grab cabins 62 and 64 while you can!

The KOA has also been busy constructing new cabins – some even have refrigerators.  If you are not interested in camping or cabins the closest motel is the Budget Inn, 4331 South Lee Highway, Natural Bridge, VA (540-291-2896)
